1. Michael Phelps: A Maryland boy, practically a fish in the water and now the most decorated Olympian ever! He says he's done after London, but I have a sinking suspicion he'll be swimming in Rio (fingers crossed). Go Michael!
2. Trolling for Christmas ideas: I LOVE Christmas, and I must admit that I start dreaming of a white Christmas about this time every year. With card making, calendar-creating and shopping to do, starting early is necessary. Pinterest is making this task fairly simple this year. I've already found 3 super cute ideas and I just started browsing!
3. All the stories of good sportsmanship from our Americans coming out of London. I've heard stories of throwing games, paying off judges and angry rants but none of those are coming out of the USA camp. With all the possible cheating and bad sportsmanship that has been going on, it's good to know that our girls and guys have been doing the US proud. Go Team USA!!
4. The 2013 IKEA catalog: You already know how I feel about IKEA. But I also get pretty excited about the catalog coming in the mail. It's pretty much the same as the Toys R'Us Christmas catalog coming when you were little. There's a lot of circling, corner flipping and hoping & wishing. Is there anything better than IKEA!?
5. A too cute quote from my niece: Her pre-school is having an Olympics week so each day they are learning how to play sports and make crafty things. On Wednesday, they made gold medals which she called her "golden medal". So yesterday when we were talking about the Olympics, I asked her if she would go to the Olympics one day and get a gold medal (she's quite the accomplished gymnast : ) To which she replied, and I quote "I don't need a golden medal...I already have one". Too adorable!
